2 Istwa 33
1 Manassé te gen laj douzan lè l te devni wa a, e li te renye pandan senkann-senkan Jérusalem.
Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he was ruling for fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
2 Li te fè mal nan zye a SENYÈ a, selon abominasyon yo a nasyon an ke SENYÈ a te chase deyò devan fis Israël yo.
He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, copying the disgusting ways of the nations whom the Lord had sent out of the land before the children of Israel.
3 Paske li te rebati wo plas ke Ézéchias, papa li te kraze yo. Anplis, li te monte lotèl pou Baal yo. Li te fè Asherim yo, e li te adore tout lame syèl yo e te sèvi yo.
For he put up again the high places which had been pulled down by his father Hezekiah; and he made altars for the Baals, and pillars of wood, and was a worshipper and servant of all the stars of heaven;
4 Li te bati lotèl lakay SENYÈ a sou sila yo SENYÈ a te di: “Se non Mwen k ap nan Jérusalem jis pou tout tan an.”
And he made altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, In Jerusalem will my name be for ever.
5 Paske li te bati lotèl pou tout lame syèl yo nan de lakou lakay SENYÈ yo.
And he made altars for all the stars of heaven in the two outer squares of the house of the Lord.
6 Anplis, li te fè fis li yo pase nan dife nan vale Ben-Hinnom, epi li te pratike vye maji, divinasyon, fè wanga e li te fè angajman avèk sila ki pale ak mò yo ak divinò yo. Li te fè anpil mal nan zye SENYÈ a ki te pwovoke Li a lakòlè.
More than this, he made his children go through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom; and he made use of secret arts, and signs for reading the future, and unnatural powers, and gave positions to those who had control of spirits and to wonder-workers: he did much evil in the eyes of the Lord, moving him to wrath.
7 Li te mete imaj taye ke li te fè lakay Bondye a, sou sila Bondye te di a David ak Salomon, fis li a: “Nan kay sila a ak nan Jérusalem, ke Mwen te chwazi soti nan tout tribi Israël yo, Mwen va mete non Mwen jis pou tout tan.
And he put the image he had made in the house of God, the house of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, the town which I have made mine out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:
8 Mwen p ap retire ankò pye Israël soti nan peyi ke Mwen te chwazi pou papa zansèt nou yo, si sèlman yo va obsève pou fè tout sa ke M te kòmande yo pa tout lalwa, règleman avèk òdonans ki te bay pa Moïse yo.”
And never again will I let the feet of Israel be moved out of the land which I have given to their fathers; if only they will take care to do all my orders, even all the law and the orders and the rules given to them by Moses.
9 Konsa, Manassé te egare Juda ak pèp Jérusalem nan pou fè plis mal pase menm nasyon ke SENYÈ a te detwi devan fis Israël yo.
And Manasseh made Judah and the people of Jerusalem go out of the true way, so that they did more evil than those nations whom the Lord gave up to destruction before the children of Israel.
10 SENYÈ a te pale ak Manassé avèk pèp li a, men yo pa t okipe sa menm.
And the word of the Lord came to Manasseh and his people, but they gave no attention.
11 Pou sa, SENYÈ a te fè chèf a lame wa Assyrie yo vin parèt kont yo. Yo te kaptire Manassé e te mete l an chenn yo. Yo te mete chenn an bwonz sou pye l, e te mennen li Babylone.
So the Lord sent against them the captains of the army of Assyria, who made Manasseh a prisoner and took him away in chains to Babylon.
12 Pandan li te nan gwo twoub, li te sipliye SENYÈ a, Bondye pa li a, devan Bondye a zansèt li yo.
And crying out to the Lord his God in his trouble, he made himself low before the God of his fathers,
13 Lè li te priye a Li menm, Li te touche pa priyè li a. Konsa, Li te tande siplikasyon li an, e te mennen li ankò Jérusalem kote wayòm li an. Konsa, Manassé te konnen ke SENYÈ a te Bondye.
And made prayer to him; and in answer to his prayer God let him come back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh was certain that the Lord was God.
14 Alò, apre sa li te bati miray deyò lavil David la sou kote lwès a Guihon, nan vale a, menm pou rive nan antre Pòtay Pwason an. Li te antoure Ophel la avèk li, e te fè li byen wo, epi li te mete chèf lame yo nan tout vil fòtifye Juda yo.
After this he made an outer wall for the town of David, on the west side of Gihon in the valley, as far as the way into the town by the fish doorway; and he put a very high wall round the Ophel; and he put captains of the army in all the walled towns of Judah.
15 Anplis, li te retire dye etranje yo avèk zidòl yo soti lakay SENYÈ a. Tout lotèl ke li te bati sou mòn lakay SENYÈ a ak nan Jérusalem yo, li te jete yo deyò lavil la.
He took away the strange gods and the image out of the house of the Lord, and all the altars he had put up on the hill of the Lord's house and in Jerusalem, and put them out of the town.
16 Li te monte lotèl SENYÈ a, e te fè sakrifis ofrann lapè avèk ofrann remèsiman sou li; epi li te kòmande Juda pou sèvi SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la.
And he put the altar of the Lord in order, offering peace-offerings and praise-offerings on it, and said that all Judah were to be servants of the Lord, the God of Israel.
17 Sepandan, pèp la te toujou fè sakrifis nan lye wo yo, men sèlman a SENYÈ Bondye pa yo a.
However, the people still made offerings in the high places, but only to the Lord their God.
18 Alò, tout lòt zèv Manassé yo, menm lapriyè li a Bondye pa li a, ak pawòl a divinè yo ki te pale avèk li nan non SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, men gade, yo pami achiv a wa Israël yo.
Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words which the seers said to him in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, are recorded among the acts of the kings of Israel.
19 Anplis lapriyè li, jan li te sipliye Bondye a, ak tout peche li yo, enfidelite li ak landwa ke li te bati wo plas pou te fè monte Asherim yo, ak imaj taye yo, avan li te vin imilye li menm, gade, yo tout ekri nan achiv a Hozaï yo.
And the prayer which he made to God, and how God gave him an answer, and all his sin and his wrongdoing, and the places where he made high places and put up pillars of wood and images, before he put away his pride, are recorded in the history of the seers.
20 Konsa, Manassé te dòmi avèk papa zansèt li yo, e yo te antere li nan pwòp kay li. Epi Amon, fis li a, te devni wa nan plas li.
So Manasseh went to rest with his fathers, and they put his body to rest in his house, and Amon his son became king in his place.
21 Amon te gen laj a venn-dezan lè l te devni wa, e li te renye dezan Jérusalem.
Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king; and he was ruling for two years in Jerusalem.
22 Li te fè mal nan zye a SENYÈ a tankou Manassé, papa li, te konn fè a, e Amon te fè sakrifis a tout imaj taye ke papa li, Manassé te fè yo, e li te sèvi yo.
He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as Manasseh his father had done; and Amon made offerings to all the images which his father Manasseh had made, and was their servant.
23 Anplis, li pa t imilye li menm devan SENYÈ a jan papa li, Manassé te fè a, men Amon te ogmante koupabilite li.
He did not make himself low before the Lord, as his father Manasseh had done, but went on sinning more and more.
24 Anfen, sèvitè li yo te fè konplo kont li, e te mete li a lanmò nan pwòp kay pa li.
And his servants made a secret design against him, and put him to death in his house.
25 Men pèp peyi a te touye tout sila ki te fè konplo a kont Wa Amon yo, e pèp peyi a te fè Josias, fis li a, wa nan plas li.
But the people of the land put to death all those who had taken part in the design against King Amon, and made his son Josiah king in his place.
